Effective Records Management: A Management Guide To The Value Of BS ISO 15489-1

Description

This book summarizes the case for implementing records management at an appropriate level in most, if not all, organizations. It is a reformatted and reprinted version of DISC PD 0025-1:2002, to be read in conjunction with BS ISO 15489-1:2001.

This book is intended for use by records, information and technology management professionals, managers of organizations, and all other individuals with a duty to create and maintain records.

These publications are designed to meet the practical needs of organizations in a field that is radically changing through the adoption of e-commerce in the commercial world and e-government in the public sector, and the need to meet obligations arising from recent data protection and freedom of information legislation. These publications will assist organizations wishing to introduce best practice for the management of records and information; manage records for quality initiatives (ISO 9001, EFQM); and manage records for legal and regulatory compliance, including compliance with the code of practice under section 46 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
